Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill and his contract extension will be a big priority in the offseason, but the Dolphins plan to secure a solid backup quarterback in free agency. Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero speculates QB Matt Moore, who was the Dolphins' backup in 2014 and is an unrestricted free agent, may be the best option.

Miami Dolphins QB Matt Moore was 13-of-19 passing for 158 yards and a touchdown during the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 16, and has "virtually" locked up the backup quarterback job, according to ESPN.com's James Walker.

Miami Dolphins QB Matt Moore said he understands his role as the backup quarterback and will be ready if he is called on to play. "I just do my job and try and succeed. Everyone has that competitor in them, and at this level, you have to understand your role. This is it. I'm here to push [QB Ryan Tannehill] and challenge him and compete the best I can. I'll be ready at a moment's notice and be ready to do well," Moore said.
